Hi,

It seems that in 2.4.4 suddenly the function "skb_cow" no longer
returns the modified skb, but it retuns and integer for
succes/failure.

This means that for networking modules requiring this function, there
is no source code compatibilty between 2.4.3 and 2.4.4.

                        Roger.
